TWISTIN' POSTMAN
(Brian Holland / Robert Bateman / Mickey Stevenson) 
The Marvelettes


Sitting by the window, feeling sad & blue 
All because I haven't heard from you 
& then my mama said "Look! Look! 
Here comes the postman twistin' down the avenue 
He's got a letter in his hand 
& I know it has to be for you 
He's got the mail sack twisted 'round his back 
'Cause he's a (twistin' postman)" 

Now he's a-twistin' to the left, twistin' to the right 
Twistin' all round & round 
If he didn't bring the letter to make me feel better 
I was gonna put you down 
I'm so glad he came in time to ease this achin' heart of mine 
'Cause he's a (twistin' postman) 

(backing vocals) 
Mail sack swingin' 'round his back 
'Cause he's a... 

(instrumental) 
(Twistin' postman) 
Uh huh! He's a twistin' postman! Look at him go! 
Twistin', twistin'! 

He's got the mail sack twisted 'round his back 
'Cause he's a (twistin' postman)" 

Twistin' to the left, twistin' to the right 
Twistin' all round & round 
If he didn't bring the letter to make me feel better 
I was gonna put you down 
I'm so glad he came in time to ease this achin' heart of mine 
'Cause he's a (twistin' postman) 

"Look! Look! Here comes the mailman twistin' down the avenue 
He's got a letter in his hand & I know it has to be for you"
